Every year the kids get to go watch a huge fireworks display. But they have never been able to light their own fireworks. Handy Man and I were reminiscing about our childhood 4th of July's where out parents lit fireworks in the street and we twirled sparklers in the air, one after another. With out any firework bans this year thanks to all the rain we have had, Handy Man and I took the kids to pick out some fire works.
We invited a couple friends over for slip-n-sliding, bike riding, moose steaks and fireworks!
It was hot! Perfect for the water slide!
Our Brown Eyed Girl decided to try her luck at two-wheels...
Almost had it a couple times but our dirt road cul-de-sac makes it a little more challenging with all of the lumps and bumps to balance. But she's getting there!
This kid is becoming quite the ladies man this summer... I am waiting for the first phone call from a little girl that says, "Is Cole there?"
It must be those guns! Ever since we came home from Iowa, I can barely keep a shirt on this kid.
Of course we had to feed the horses some carrots.
We taught Jesse hot to play Hockey! His mom and dad are anticipating his Birthday and Christmas lists additions.
After dinner, we grabbed our lawn chairs and headed to the driveway to get the show started!
The Master of Ceremonies got himself organized.
We warmed up with a few sparklers.
And then we headed up to the cul-de-sac for the show. The adults laughed and chatted while the kids let out joyous oohs and aahs!
Handy Man and I ticked the kids into bed that night and both agreed we were finally entering the really fun times in parenting.
So much to be thankful for!
